Until now it has remained unpublished because it just isn’t up to the usual Anodised quality; it was hastily thrown together and poorly researched. This episode is being published today because while the informational content isn’t up to scratch, it still has good entertainment value. Also, let’s face it, S3E4 and S3E5 aren’t being recorded any time soon.Platform TribalismRecorded one year ago today, this was originally intended to be episode six of series three. Until now it has remained unpublished because it just isn’t up to the usual Anodised quality; it was hastily thrown together and poorly researched.

This episode is being published today because while the informational content isn’t up to scratch, it still has good entertainment value. Also, let’s face it, S3E4 and S3E5 aren’t being recorded any time soon.

— One version is generally OK, but two versions is nearly impossible. Apple tends to remove support for compiling for n-2 generations, so it gets harder to make apps work for two versions old.
— Even at one version old, often there are features we can’t make available to the older OS. Users don’t seem to understand why we can’t.

— Upgraded to Mountain Lion
—— Couldn’t fall two versions behind as a developer
—— Fixed many of the things I found most annoying about Lion, though I can’t recall now exactly what those were (Save/Save As, opening previous docs by default?)
—— Generally went well and wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Still hate the gray sidebar, though.
Are software updates a good thing?

Pros
— New features
— Security updates
—— Important in a connected world

Cons
— Feature creep
—— See iTunes
— Change for the sake of change
— Removal of features one relied upon

Tim Cook Ragging on Windows 8 and Android
— You’re not the underdog anymore, Apple, as much as you’d like to be
— Jab at Windows 8 install base
—— Mac install base of 80 million
—— 40 million copies of Mavericks installed
—— 51% of Macs running Mavericks
—— 14% of Windows PCs running Windows 8
——— Yeah that’s a nice stat, Tim, but what you haven’t taken into account is the overall Windows install base is significantly larger than the overall Mac install base
——— Based on my research (five minutes on Google) I’ve determined that the overall Windows install base is around 1.25 billion to 1.5 billion
——— And the install base of Windows 8 (which isn’t even the current shipping version of Windows) sits at around 58.6 million to 88.5 million
——— Last time I checked, both 59.6 million and 88.5 million are bigger numbers than 40 million
———— So suck on that, Tim

Jab at Android updates
—“We make … our software updates for the OS available to as many customers as possible”
— BULL-FUCKING-SHIT YOU DO
—— You only stopped selling the iPhone 4 last year
—— You sold the iPhone 4 for nearly four years
—— No other iPhone has ever been on the market for as long as the iPhone 4
—— ANYONE who bought an iPhone 4 WITHIN THE LAST YEAR is UNABLE to run iOS 8
——— THAT’S NOT AS MANY CUSTOMERS AS POSSIBLE, TIM

Continuity, Handoff And The iWatch
— Before I saw Continuity I doubted Apple’s ability to create a product that was so dependent on another product to be useful
—— I’m more willing to believe it now but still think it’s bullshit

New Look
—— Translucency on title bars and sidebars
——— Looks a lot like Aero

———— WE HAVE TO BE TOLD EVERY SINGLE TIME WE OPEN AN ICLOUD ENABLED APPLICATION

http://anodisedpodcast.com/bonus-material/mac-amateurarticleSun, 16 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +1030Clinton Phillips and Matthew JC.PowellClinton and Matthew discuss the possibility of Apple releasing a half-height Mac Pro to supersede the Mac mini.Clinton and Matthew discuss the possibility of Apple releasing a half-height Mac Pro to supersede the Mac mini.Half Height Mac ProMatthew JC. Powell — whom has been in talks with people familiar with Apple’s plans — has lent his credence to the much rumoured half-height Mac Pro set to replace the Mac mini before the end of this year.

The new form factor is expected to bring the high-end design of the Mac Pro down to a more affordable price with performance and upgradability more suited to the majority of Apple’s customers.

It is believed that RAM will be the only user-servicable part in the new design, in line with the previous Mac mini design.

Matthew’s sources indicate that the half-size Mac Pro will start with a configuation similar to the current low-end iMac and will be configarable up to Quad Core i7s with a desktop-class GPU rather than the low-end notebook-class GPUs featured in the current Mac mini.

iPad recap
— 170 million iPads sold
— 81% usage share
—— All others 19%
—— Usage share is the new Market share
——— So suck on that
— 475,000 iPad apps
— Possibly the first acknowledgement that apps aren’t just about quantity but quality
— Yay! Another video!
—— THE IPAD IS NOT A CAMERA!

I once listened to the GAP for 9 hours straight. I was behind on episodes and it just so happened that they posted three 3 hour long end-of-year episodes. It was fucking epic, they had Yug on from Australian Gamer and I don’t remember much else, it’s all a blur now. — Clinton

Touch ID
— Can recognise five fingers
—fingerprint data stored on-device
——people worried about privacy concerns are fuckheads
—Touch ID can be fooled NOT HACKED, IMPORTANT DISTINCTION with a fake fingertip
—— macrumors.com m.tuaw.com
——— A trivial process PROVIDED you’re determined enough have all the equipment at hand
————Which nobody does so it’s very unlikely that this will be an issue
—Touch ID can recognise other body parts including your bellend which is hilarious.
— 64 GB still max capacity, for fucks sake Apple, increase the capacity

“Installing iOS 7 is like getting a new phone but one that you already know how to use.” — Craig Federighi

‘Design isn’t just about the way something looks, it’s about the way it works’ — Jony Ive (paraphrased)

iOS 7 looks very different but is largely functionally the same. Most functional changes (like multitasking) are behind-the-scenes things that end-users might not notice.

iOS 7 gripes
— Notifications still don’t have enough info
—— Twitter, Facebook notifications truncated
— UI inconsistencies
—— distinctions between icon buttons and text buttons
—— Mark All as Read in Mail not available in the Unread smartbox
— Home screen still the same
—— Still hard to move icons around
——Would like to arbitrarily place icons
—— Or automatically sort them alphabetically, it’s a goddamn computer for Christ’s sake, they’re capable of doing that
— needs better keyboard support
—— why can’t I command tab to switch between apps
—— or use the tab key to select UI elements
———would be great for people with disabilities
—— on-screen button for recalling the on-screen keyboard when a Bluetooth keyboard is connected
— Some icons are way over designed for a flat minimalist interface
—— Safari, Compass and Camera in particular
— It’s hard to compose a shot in the camera app because of the stupid transparent control overlay
—— Not so bad on the iPhone 5 but it’s pretty bad on the iPhone 4 and 4S
— Sharing data between apps needs to be improved
—— Still can’t delete Stocks app
——— Why is there still a Stocks app?
— People hating on the transition animations
— Parallax effect
—— pointless gimmicky bullshit
—— Doesn’t work as well as in the videos

iPhone 5S
Features: A7 chip, Touch ID and improved camera. Available in gold, silver and space grey.

iPhone 5C

— Available for pre-order
—— pre-orders started week before retail availability

— Mixed reports on iPhone 5C demand, some say underwhelming
iPhone 5C cases, what the fuck Apple, what the fuck?
32 GB max capacity
iPad and iPad mini
— iPad definitely get Touch ID
— What about the iPad mini?
—— Is the iPad mini the equivalent of the iPhone 5C?
